Grzegorz,

The right way to do it is to use the ':'.  (Actually, it uses the propert=
y
path.separator which defaults to ':' and should be defined as ':' on
*nix system anyway).

Properties are simple (key,value) pairs.  There cannot be several pairs
stored with the same key.  I am not sure what SableVM does if one
is specified several times.  It might just use the last value?

The actual code that uses it is in:
sablepath-classes/src/java/lang/Runtime.java especially Runtime() and
loadLibrary().
